The Princess of Blood and Time

Verinia Hellfryne has had to do many things to get her way. She’s scheming, manipulative and ruthless! But how could anyone suspect their benevolent First Princess, who has taken on the burden of a substitute queen and raised her three siblings since she was eight years old? It’s unfathomable! But then, when her father brings to the palace his illegitimate son and the son’s mother, she meets her match! How can she face a woman who is as scheming and vicious as she is? How can she prevent her father from giving the throne to his bastard son instead of the legitimate heir? Verinia knows that she must fight to get what she wants, but an unforeseen scheme from the wicked concubine brings a new variable to distort her problems! “You’re a wicked woman, Your Sovereign Highness. Fortunately, I don’t like to play clean.” All her life, Verinia has vowed not to be swayed by men, but this scoundrel is just too smooth! “I’m a married woman!” He smiled. “I’m the prince’s proxy in this wedding. Treat me as such until he returns!” Secrets and schemes, blood and power turn into one big blur to distract from a chilling evil that lurks under the surface. An evil that could destroy the world.

Barthen, Day 16 (7)

Seeing that she wasn't responding, the arrogant fellow in the gaping doorway of the carriage assumed that she was frightened. 

It was unknown why he was thinking that, when she didn't look like she was afraid, but in his mind, the First Princess was only a weak woman, and a weak woman couldn't do anything but be afraid in a situation like this. 

So, because he was thinking too much, the man became arrogant. 

"Don't worry, Your Highness. If you're obedient and don't test my patience, I won't treat you badly, alright? The boss holds me in high esteem, so it's not impossible for me to protect you." 

This piqued the Princess' interest, who began to regard him in a new light. "You're an important figure, then? Who is your boss?"
